Kosovo today is closer to Europe than other countries in the region of South Eastern Europe.

The privatization law draft was recently released and I believe that very soon we will start applying it, of course taking into consideration the provisions of United Nations Mission in Kosovo.

I want to emphasize the fact that the independence of Kosovo should and will be recognized.

Kosovo is a small country but it also has a lot of riches that were granted to us by God.

We had a lot of international help especially from the EU and USA, which helped us to get out of this phase of emergency, to give some dynamism to Kosova.

As the president of Kosovo, I am more concerned about the current situation with the employment standing at around 70 % of the population, which is young, with great potential, speaking many foreign languages and having wide expertise.

First, we will focus on the privatization of small and medium sized enterprises, followed by the medium size industry and then we will move on to the heavy industry.
